Strategic Action 5.7 of Accelerate Philly calls for “an annual school leaders survey to provide feedback about Central Office operations.” The Central Office Feedback Survey was administered in February 2024 and May 2025, and school leaders at District and alternative schools were invited to participate. This slide deck summarizes overall feedback on Central Office and feedback on individual departments.
Priority Area 5 of the School District of Philadelphia’s strategic plan, Accelerate Philly, is to “deliver efficient, high-quality, cost-effective operations.” To this end, Strategic Action 5.12 requires that we “benchmark District performance against other large urban districts.” We selected 18 academic and operational KPIs to benchmark SDP against other large urban districts. This slide deck includes available data for each KPI from 2017-18 through 2022-23.
Each year, the School District of Philadelphia (SDP) administers a budget priorities survey to gather stakeholder feedback that will inform the next year’s budget. A total of 5,508 stakeholders representing 254 District schools/programs responded to the survey.
